I actually bought this video (vol 1) when I was 11 or 12 when it first came out with my allowance that I saved up. As a guitar teacher and someone with 20 plus years playing experience, I can say that this is the best video on shred guitar technique. Volume 1 alone is well worth the price. My only issue(a VERY minor one) is that he doesn't talk about the metronome and its usage. But any good teacher can explane that in about 2 minutes.
Volume 2 while not quite as shred heavy is still a great dvd to have(and just as important content). It concetrates more on phrasing, dynamics, rythmic ways of building phrases, etc. Don't worry, there is still plenty of shredding as well.
These volumes are the best investments I ever made as a guitar player,teacher and student. Anyone who wants to learn how to shred, get this dvd package, and a book on music theory(or instruction by a teacher) and a good chord book and you'll have everything you ever need.
Keep in mind, no matter what, you still have to practice(alot!!!!). No book, Dvd, or anything is going to MAKE you play well. If you are a beginner(or even advanced), you still have to work hard. However, this is a big help.

I just got this dvd a few weeks back and I can already feel a noticable improvement in my technique. In the first section, he goes over picking, 3-note per string scales, chromatic and harmonic minor licks, hammer - ons and pull - offs and different arpeggio techniques, including sweep picking and string skipping. In the second section, he gives more practical applications of the techniques and offers insight on how to improve phrasing and how to practice soloing. Paul is a great teacher and he will keep you interested both with his playing and his sense of humor.

I own every Paul Gilbert video that I am aware of. These two volumes have dramatically improved my technique, speed, phrasing, picking, etc. Paul is an amazing teacher. He explains everything in depth so that even the novice guitarist will understand most everything covered. I own many other videos including Yngwie, Vinnie Moore, Richie Kotzen etc. None of the other videos can compete with the Paul Gilbert videos. I often watch Intense rock 1 and 2 as refresher courses or just for plain entertainment. If shred is your game, then look no further. Learn from the best!

A must have!
Every budding shredder needs this. I'd give it a 5 star but it lacks a bit of technical detail. Gilbert is such a impeccable player though so just buy it anyway. Read more
